These DVDs are fun and informative. The narrator is really engaging and you can't help but be swept along with his enthusiasm and good humor. And along the way, you learn a lot about each of the projects he tackles. Great for entertaining while simultaneously educating your kids.

This is a fascinating series! Every episode is different, and Sean Riley (the host) is fun to watch... really knowledgeable, too. You don't have to be an engineer to love watching these fixes. You get to see enormous and amazing repairs that get done every day just to keep things running for us all. Handling 500 volts of electricity while hanging off the side of a helicopter? Dang! I also liked the show about fixing the giant telescope in Chile. Riley is just as comfortable and engaging working side by side with scientists or daredevil tower climbers. Riley is adept at moving into some seriously tough situations and then making us feel like we are right there in the fix, too. He works 2,000 feet up on radio towers, or under water in a roiling sea doing ship repairs... and everywhere else you can imagine. And in spite of the tension, Riley always finds a way to make us laugh a little, too. I recommend it for your whole family. This show is great.

This is a fascinating series put out by Nat Geo....I've watched the DVDs repeatedly....can't wait for season two to come out!!!

Especially erecting the Giant Wind Turbine, though I found host Sean Riley's constant hyping irritating after awhile.
